This won't help with this posting but it is always worth knowing that with Crinia frogs we can't be absolutely certain without knowing the belly pattern. A useful tip for the future>

I didn't see the under side of their bellies, but I can go back and take more photos next week.

They are almost certainly signifera but you need to see the bellies to rule out parinsignifera. Can you remember, were the bellies marbled black and white or granular grey?

Did you hear this specimen calling, as it's a very good way to distinguish between Litoria tyleri and the very similar looking L. peronii? What makes you think it's L. tyleri?
Otherwise, I would have thought this is L. peronii, as it has strong black and yellow marbling in the thighs. Whereas, L. tyleri has only faint yellow and brown marbling in the legs.
I know both species are found in this vicinity, which is why we need to be careful to ID frogs that look like this in the area.

Cannot be entirely sure of ID without seeing the belly. Best fit is L. lesueurii.
